The rod has a really nice feel to it. It is easy to change sizes with the additional extensions. I was also really pleased with the customer service and the follow up from Aleka. The rod came with a much nicer rod tube than I had expected as an added bonus.

My X2 Evolve arrived two days after ordering. Tracking # was supplied with receipt. Great Customer communication / service!! Was able to fish with the Evolve that weekend. Rod lived up to expectations as I was able to switch from nymphing (10') to casting dry flys (8'8") without removing reel or line from the rod. I'm a believer!!

I just landed my first Coho on my new A6 9wt/9ft rod. Casting the rod with a Teeney T-300 shooting head line was smooth and powerful. The moderate flex tip performed great...could feel the controlling power of the mid-rod "backbone." Rod's blue color shows metallic purple in sunlight...spectacular. Very satisfied...as I am with my A8 6wt as well.

I purchased a Aleka X2 fly rod recently. They were swift to acknowledge my online purchase and gave me an estimated delivery date. I received an e-mail when the package left their shop along with a tracking number. Package arrived when they said it would and in excellent condition, I will shop Aleka when I am in need of fly fishing supplies.

This past week was the first opportunity I had to use my new A8,9’ 5wt combo. I fished with my wife the Green River out of Flaming Gorge Resort with guide Ryan Kelly. We fished streamers with droppers and dries. The rod and reel could not have performed better. In two days of fishing we landed many large Browns, but some great Rainbows as well. Don’t understand why anyone would want to pay hundreds of dollars more for a fly rod combo when this rod performs excellent with a excellent reel. Handles all sizes and type of flies even in very windy conditions. A very excellent buy, at a great price. Bill Tucker

Excellent rod combo. Sale price was surprisingly low for the quality of the equipment. It was delivered to me before most placing would even ship. Overall, I would recommend this site to any and everyone and I will be shopping here again. Thanks.

I received my 9'5wt A8 rod in the mail right on time, unpacked it and immediately started casting it. It proved to be crisp as advertised and I was able to use a 4wt as well as the 5wt lines. Reason being I wanted to carry only one rod on my NZ trip. I am very pleased with the appearance and look forward to actually fishing with the rod.

I received my Acuflex casting rod a few days ago and was very impressed with the packing and shipment. Then I proceeded to open and saw the rod itself. Let me tell you these rod are top notch and are very comparable to some of my high dollar top end bass rods I own now. By purchasing one of these I will be the first to say you can't go wrong and you will be very pleased. I am strongly considering using the exclusively during the B.A.S.S Central Open and PAA circuit for 2015. These are beautiful rods that are highly functional! Get you some of these…..

It's just what I was looking for. Has the depth and size to fit my streamers in without them being crushed. Has a good spring feeling to the lid and a very good locking mechanism for easy opening and closing.

I received my Aleka 8 3 weight for small stream fishing here in the Smoky Mountains. I posed a question regarding backing. I received an answer the next day and completed the order. The rod is very light and comfortable; even for a man with large hands. Thank you Aleka for making a fine product.

I am very pleased with the Rod and reel I purchased but most impressed withe personal service and follow through on the order. The new X2 6 piece 3 weight cast very smoothly in all 3 lengths and is incredibly light. I am looking forward to putting the 10' length on a big river next month. I think overall Aleka is putting together some well thought out products and at "good value " price points combined with a good dose of Customer Service.

I really like the A3 rod. Smooth easy casting. I like the drag system on the reel, smooth no noise when reeling in with the adjustable drag when the fish is running.
The one thing I didn't like about the rod was all eye guides, no snake guides. I don't think they make a difference in casting, just easy feeding the line when it has a fly attached.
